Frequently (but not always…) when I start my Vista computer, it won’t connect to the newtork. Ipconfig shows just blanks against the network adapter as follows:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
The only way I’ve found to get back online is to:
1. Go to Network Adapter Diagnose and Repair.
2. Click Renew IP Address (I would click Reset the Network Adapter, but annoyingly it doesn’t appear at this stage).
3. Wait till it tells me it didn’t fix the problem.
4. Click Reset the Network Adapter, which now is in the dialog box.
This is extremely annoying. How can I automate this process? I’ve tried a number of techniques mentioned on this site and elsewhere without success… Is there some script command in WSH that will reset the network adapter? Or can I just automate the click sequence described above in some way?
Thanks – Rowan
